如何在Liferay中重新加载整个页面

Question

I am using Liferay 5.2.3.

In my view.jsp file I have a hidden form that after it is populated, it is sent to the processAction(request, response) method of my portlet like this:

document.getElementById('email').value = member.emailAddress;
document.getElementById('myForm').submit();

After all the java code in my extended GenericPortlet class from processAction(request, response) has been executed, I want my entire web page to be refreshed, not only the portlet.

I think there are two ways to do that:
1: inside processAction
2: using some kind of ajax code and call document.location.reload() after document.getElementById('myForm').submit();

Could you share some sample code for any of these options (or others)?

Answer 1

You're describing the default behaviour in portal world: After triggering an Action, the whole page will be reloaded. Whatever you did in order to work around this default: Undo it and you're done.

Look at (almost) any of the Liferay demo portlets, eg on https://github.com/liferay/liferay-plugins/tree/master/portlets
